Insomniac credits Xbox One's "quick production cycle" for exclusivity

Insomniac Games’ CEO and Founder Ted Price revealed why Sunset Overdrive was exclusive to the Xbox One: the console offers the fastest production cycle of the new consoles.

Price stated, “Others may ask why we have 'abandoned' our PlayStation heritage. The truth is, not a lot has changed. Insomniac has been, is, and will continue to be 100% independent. We have treasured that independence for the last 19 years. It now allows us to own and control our IP, and find the most suitable partners to make those IP a reality. While we are excited about partnering with Microsoft on Sunset Overdrive, that doesn’t mean we can’t or wouldn’t make games with our longtime friends at Sony. That’s the magic of being an independent developer.”

Sunset Overdrive will be released on the Xbox One, but doesn't have a release date yet.
